Noticed that a lot what he said really made sense to him and that it was helping him to clam down his nerves after realising that he isn’t able to hide he was gay to his family and friends. He felt quite confused at the same time because it felt like what he said was also against his own identity and that he wasn’t doing the right thing. He had a weird feeling that was ripping him apart where he thought and told him self that what he is feeling is natural and wasn’t a choice when it comes to his sexuality but when individual said that it shouldn’t be acted on and that they shouldn’t go into a relationships it made him feel like he wasn’t a normal person, a broken person destined to live a life of loneliness and shame. Suddenly he encountered another video that felt a bit more liberating that he was recognised and that what he was feeling wasn’t something to worry about and that its not something to feel ashamed about however even knowing what this new individual was saying wasn’t wrong it just felt that he wasn’t sure. He put down his phone again and thoughts starting to surge into his mind again but they felt like they were all over the palace. He then asked the question will I ever be accepted or am I actually broken?
